Non-adherence, non-compliance, whatever badge you give it, the failure of patients to take the right dose of medication at the right time has been a problem for many years and it has far-reaching consequences.

It can stop people from getting better or from effectively managing their condition. It costs the NHS £300million a year in medicine wastage alone and a further £500million in lost benefits to people’s health. It contributes to nearly 200,000 deaths a year in the EU alone.

With people now living longer and on more and more complex medication regimes, this is a problem that is not going to go away unless we join together to take action.

That’s why we’ve launched this website and the very first National Medication Adherence Week – to identify and expose the problem to the widest possible audience and to ensure that we work together in a meaningful way to change these statistics for the better.
